Re: Standard Windows DLL: (was ANN: wxLua 5.0.2 released.)

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

It would be good if someone with VC++ 6.0 actually did this.

The reason: mingw/gcc eats VC++ .lib's quite nicely but VC++ does not 
eat .a

The other (perhaps better) alternative would be to provide both:

	.dll itself
	.lib for VC++
	.a	 for gcc

If this is done by mingw anyways, it can use the dll itself as an 
import library (oh, why won't MS programmers do it as easy?).  Anyone 
know a way to generate .lib from mingw?
